Please read my article Database Table Update in a DataGridView without Writing Code . That article might not explain how to do what you need to do for your program, but the important part of that article is the part about creating a data source. If you can create a data source that way, then that will help you to create a connection string. There are otehr ways to create a connection string, but doing it the way I describe n my article is a good place to start.
